[Haskell-iPhone] Can anyone help me test GHC-iOS compiler?

[Stephen Blackheath [to GHC-iPhone]]

Luke,

Try llvm version 3.0 - that's what I'm using, and it definitely worked 
before. llvm-3.1 is broken for GHC+ARM. As for llvm >= 3.2, I'm not sure 
if it's been fixed yet, but it wasn't working last time I tried a couple 
of months ago. I think this was because llvm is getting fussier about 
its input and GHC hasn't been "tightened up" yet.

It's really easy to build llvm from source.
